Today, my boyfriend and I broke up because we got into a fight over what color that confusing black and blue and white and gold dress was. FML

YDI for letting something so trivial become such a huge issue. Priorities, OP.

I can't believe this shit is going viral.

What a crappy thing to fight about. Sucks OP

YDI for letting something so trivial become such a huge issue. Priorities, OP.

That'll never be an issue here. As long as we agree it's white and gold. ;)

If our biggest issue is the color of a dress I think we're doing pretty damn well. But it's still white and gold.

I have a feeling breaking up over the dress was just an excuse for bigger problems.

It's the lighting of the photo that skews the perception; some people will perceive a shadow and see white while others will not and see blue. When I first saw it I saw blue and later when I looked at it again I saw white. Now my mind is confused and I just see an in-between color. I don't see why this is something to argue about; the dress is able to be seen as both colors.

Agreed. Our society as a whole needs to get their priorities straight. That dress isn't going to feed the homeless or bring the soldiers back from the war. It's so frustrating.

25 they done a "report" on the BBC where it was confirmed to be blue and black, sorry to burst your bubble.

Why is it people get in fights over this stupid shit?

I can't believe this shit is going viral.

It's cool that it went viral. It gives lots of people a chance to understand how we biologically work, and brings up an interesting debate on how much perception influences life.

There is show on the science channel that does the same thing without destroying relationships.

One day we're gonna look back on this FML and be confused because we will all probably Forget about the dress.

I don't even know what the hell it is honestly so :b

I consulted with my Dad and He told me to tell everyone it's white and gold. There, problem solved. Now go find him, make up and be merry..

#216, I also saw baby blue and gold for days, staring at it trying to see anything different. Then I saw an article that had 3 or.4 different pictures of the dress in different lighting. Went back to the original photo and now I clearly see blue and black. Our brains are fascinating.

You obviously didn't have a very strong relationship, if something silly like that blue up into an argument you couldn't resolve.

that sucks OP, but if your relationship was so fragile you deserve something better! You shouldn't deal with this kind of crap daily

Playful and occasional arguing can be healthy but if you can't both can't survive a argument about obscure colors then it wasn't meant to be and you are both better off. I hope you at least managed to settle it and have the satisfaction of being right though.
